Twilight Ascension Pre-Patch Event Overview
Unlike regular warbound gear, catalyzing the pre-patch event armor reduces its level requirement to level 70.
While this is undoubtedly a powerful perk for characters still leveling through The War Within, it does have some noticeable limitations:
Rare catch up gear purchased from the vendor cannot be catalyzed; only the epics.
Epics cannot be purchased by low level characters, but rare drops and the level 80 vendor equipment are Warbound.
The catalyzing character must be able to reach Dornogal to actually use the Catalyst, which normally requires level 68.
Lower level characters can be summoned or ported to Dornogal, but the epics still require a minimum of level 70 after catalyzing.
The level requirement is only reduced, so you can't make completely overpowered characters!
This results in a fairly narrow band of usefulness, but players willing to jump through a few hoops can make their alts a full set of item level 121+ armor, complete with set bonuses! Even if you aren't interested in the short-term power spike, it's also a convenient way of unlocking normal and LFR tier set appearances.
